We recently deployed an S300v and retired our old tiered S170 which just does not seem to move around the web gui anymore. I might try clonezilla on the two 250gb drives in the S170 to Samsung Pro 256GB drives as an experiment, but thats another story.
Anyway now that were on the S300V we ran into an issue this afternoon where all web traffic transparently redirected via WCCP from our ASA's stopped working. Page cannot be displayed, or connection timed out - applications would say if the user was in a subnet that was in http or https redirection. If a user was not in a subnet with https redirection yet (we are slowly phasing that in), https worked great, while http did not.
Needless to say I notice our S300V RAM usage is quite high. I don't have 2.4TB of space available to deploy the S600V, but I have RAM and vCPU resources I could allocate. Would the S300V utilize additional ram or CPU if I added it to the VM? Currently I had to shut it down so the Internet works. I upped the RAM from 8GB to 12GB and I'm currently storage vMotioning it from an old EMC NX4 storage array (with average io latencies of 109 ms) to an EMC VNX5200 (with average io latencies of 9 ms).
Its at 63% migrated now, but once its fully vMotioned, I will power it back on and cross my fingers that it doesn't break the internet.
We added 2 subnets today to HTTPS filtering in the ASA5525 firewalls so maybe its just too much stuff going through https inspection?
Were looking to add storage next year and hopefully if approved, move to an all flash array from Tegile or Pure. That will really improve performance across the board for all virtual machines.
